Seton Hall University's These Come From Trees Video

The Ecology club at Seton Hall University just published a video about their These Come From Trees deployment at the school. It seems the Ecology club worked to deploy TCFT stickers across bathroom paper towel dispenser and napkin dispensers, and then documented the project!

What's more, they did some interviewing of people exiting restrooms to document the impact of the stickers. Very cool guys!

Last week, after replying to an unsolicited mailing from an investment firm, I thought that it would be useful to have a series of stickers and Post-Its to make people aware about consumption.

I learned about your sticker this morning from Daisy of the Alliance for Climate Education. Are you interested in having a line of stickers and Post-Its which would address the consumption of energy, paper, plastics, etc.?

Below you can buy packs of "These Come From Trees" stickers.

Suffice it to say, we figure $10 for 50 stickers is a pretty fair shake. 20 cents worth of sticker can save a tree's worth of paper each year, 100 pounds.

The charge is to cover cost of durable laminated stickers (to hold up to washing), postage, and fulfillment costs. Overages will be donated to Sierra Club.

From our field testing, each sticker deployed saves about a tree's worth of paper (~100 lbs.) a year. Crazy, isn't it?
